Sit back, relax, and listen to a true classic in early American literature. To celebrate the 4th, we bring you the work of one of the country’s most renowned authors, Washington Irving. I have always been influenced by his works for their romantic ideals and gothic themes. We sincerely hope you enjoy our reading of “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.”

We are back with another new chapter in our original tale, 1692: The Risen! We begin at the first hanging of Salem witches, and despite Cotton Mather’s worries, Judge Hathorne remains steadfast. While the town is absorbed in this spectacle of death, George Herrick meets Tituba, who has a very specific request. Will Herrick be able to go through with her terrifying task? Listen and find out…if you dare…

George Herrick wakes to find himself back at home and unsure of what happened in the Salem court or jails. Word has alrady spread about Herrick’s collapse, and Judge Hathorne and Cotton Mather worry that witchcraft may be the source. Tune in and find out what happens next in the Puritan town of Salem. Listen in the dark…if you dare…

While you wait for Episode 2 of 1692: The Risen, enjoy a new Classic Tale of Terror. Thanks to our special guests Rob Weeks and Stacie Carpenter for their amazing work on this story!
